November Ridership Down 0.3 Percent

Transit ridership in November 2019 was 0.3 percent lower than the same month in 2018, according to data released last week by the Federal Transit Administration. Ridership in January through November 2019 was 0.1 percent below the same period in 2018.

The downward trend in ridership was in spite of a slight increase in the New York urban area, which sees 44 percent of all transit riders in the country. Without New York, year-to-date ridership was 1.5 percent lower in 2019 than 2018. Thirty-two out of the nation’s top fifty urban areas lost transit riders in 2019 to date.

As usual, I’ve posted an enhanced spreadsheet (11.9-MB) that has annual totals in columns HQ through IH; mode totals in rows 2162 through 2174; transit agency totals in rows 2180 through 3179; and urban area totals for the 200 largest urban areas in rows 3190 through 3391. These enhancements can be found both on the ridership (UPT) and service (VRM) worksheets. Next month, when the FTA publishes totals for calendar year 2019, I’ll add charts to the spreadsheet showing ridership and vehicle-revenue miles of service from 2002 through 2019 for transit agencies, urban areas, and modes within agencies and urban areas.
